Dr. Wnllaco wroto his unknown cor
rcBpondont today that tho matter of
restitution was something which rest
ed with his own consclenco
"In tho days when tho church waB
on Nassau streot," explained Dr. Wal
lace tho other day, "a boy took a small
sum of monoy froiii tho Sunday school
funds. That was In 1873. Nothing
more wns hoard of It until five daya
ago, when I received a letter In which
I was informed that tho boy had slnco
grown to man's estnto; that his con
sclenco had troubled him and that he
wished to roturn tho amount that ho
had takon .!9 years ago. There Is a
powerful sermon In tho facts if they
are correctly told.
"I know nothing about tho theft or
how much it was. Tho man had no
fortune. He is n person of moderate
means, as I undorstnnd it, and simply
wanted to mako restitution of tho
amount mlBBing. Tho man has been
converted within tho last two or threo
years and his better naturo has moved
him to tako this stop. I wroto to him
this morning to act according to tho
light of his own conscience."
Well Without Eyesight
"Blind Al" has eyes In his fingers;
In the keen powers of smell ho has de
veloped and In tho redoubled acute
ness of his ears. By those "detectlvea"
ho has corralled 18 countorfcltors and
put the authorities on tho trnll of
threo banda who were making the
spurious coins.
"I can almost always tell If a per
son Is giving mo bad monoy," said ho.
"Tho coins are always greasy and usu
ally lighter than real qjnes; when 1 get
them I keep them to tako them out of
circulation' and then mako tho buyers
glvo me good money."
Every day ho flngerB nil tho fruit
with his brainy finger tips to tell If It
Is spftonlng and just whoro tho decay

of a wide box plait, back and front.
Tho samo box plaits repeat them

FOR WINTER
DESIGN FOR SILK STOCKINGS
Oriental Characters Are the Latest to
Be Used by Those Who Like
Embroidery.
Girls who aro fond ol? needlework
will want to embroider themselves
two or more pairs of silk stockings
in the now fashionable Oriental de
signs. Select a good grade
lng woven with thread
any color you deslro;
sharp-pointed piece of
of silk stock
silk, black or
' thon with a
tailor's chalk
outllno a design representing some cu
rlouB Chinese or Japaneso symbol,
lettering or number.
These can be found in any Orientnl
shop or on a Chinese laundry check.
Thoy are not difficult to sketch, being
for tho most part broad lines crossing
each othor in a curious manner.
These should bo slightly padded
with very soft darning cotton, so that
tho center will be raised abovo tho
outer edge. Tho embroidery is then
dono in lino floss silk, using brilliant
red, green, yellow, purple and blue. All
colors rich in tone aro effective, and
occasionally threads of silver and gold
can bo introduced in tho embroidery.
Caro must be taken when applying
tho work to colored stockings that the
colors used in the embroidery harmo
nlzo with that of the stocking itself.
Any color or combination of colors
can bo used on black.
Tiny bends and small flowers aro
lovely when worked in rich Oriental
colors. For "ovnmple, a spray of wIb
taria is charming on violet silk stock
ings. Cherry blossoms on white or
green, Iris on blu6 or yellow, and the
flaming poppy on black.
When working, an eaay way to keep
the atocklng taut so tho embroidery
will lie smooth Ib to slip a china egg
or very smooth darning egg Into tho
stocking, then hold tho silk tightly
ovor that as you would for ordinary
darning. Tho embroidery' will then"
bo perfectly smooth when worn.
Tinting Lace.
A weak solution of permanganate of
potash will tint lacea that deep shade
of ecru so much used at present.
It must bo carefully dissolved, oth
erwise it will produco stains which
are impossible to remove.
Test tho dyo with a amall pleco of
muslin boforo dipping tho lace. If tho
color la too deop, dilute tho solution
until tho required huo Is obtained.
Never allow tho laco to remain in
tho dye; simply dip in and out again.
Tea or a solution of coffee Is excel
lent to tint laces. Tho hitter pro
duces tho fashionable string color.
Laco trimmings to match tho ma
terial of the frock aro much used this
season.
With two or threo almplo colore
oven an amateur can produco good re
sults. French Raincoats.
Tho French raincoat Is nn excellent
ono to wear with flno gowns. It Is
mado of ruhherlzetl crepo dc chlno and
penu do solo. Those coats are excel
lent protectors, and yx?t nro so light
In weight that thoy will not leave their
Imprint on a beautiful gown.
